New Round of Paper Dresses and a Freebie

Last year I made two dozen Paper Dress Cards, I really enjoyed making them and sending them. So much so, I made another round in the last two weeks. This is a fun project to take with you and work on. Using 6x6 papers and the back side (rubber cushioned) of my Tim Holtz Stamping tool I was able to make dress while waiting for my client is a dental office!

Before you start your own, just a tip: use paper, don't do this with card stock, scapbook sheets like the kind in the 180 sheet stack are perfect.

Last round I used a little of bits of ribbon, this round I kept it simple and used Hug Snug seam binding

Before I added the ribbon I used a little adhesive to keep the sides down and hold the ribbon to make the ribbon tying easy.

This makes the bow tying really easy!

I added a little bling - I really kept these pretty simple:

I cut the liners and background paper and then picked the best coordinating colors and put it all together

I added my back stamp - My favorite verse I had made into a stamp:

I packaged these up without a sentiment, I will pick the appropriate on when I get reading to send the card on it's way. This just makes it so much more versatile!

The most important thing you will read on this Blog

The Most important thing you will read on this blog is this:Jesus is The Truth and The Life and The way. In the Gospel of St. John, Jesus tells the plan and purpose he has laid out for our lives. He tells us about what we all wonder and question, is there more to this life than what we have and are now? In a book smaller than my Cuisinart manual, are the words of life for us all. I opened and read that book 33 years ago and my life has so thankfully never been the same! Where there was question and strife I have peace and joy. If you need peace or love or joy in your life I invite you to open the Gospel of St. John and begin a journey that will take you with great joy along many paths and into eternity!
